For the pastry: In a large bowl mix flour, sugar and cold butter until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add cold water, mix together and form a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill.

For the filling: In a bowl mix ground almonds, sugar, flour and melted butter.

Preheat the oven to 180° C. Grease the pie dish ( 23 cm ).

Remove the pastry from the fridge. Roll out until big enough to line the tin. Chill in the fridge.

Spread the almonds mix over the base. Top with the cherries & sugar. Roll the trimmings together into a square. Cut out 7 – 8 strips. Weave the strips of pastry evenly over the fruit to create a lattice pattern and push them into the edge of the tart. Trim the overhang of pastry, brush the lattice with the egg, then scatter with sugar. Bake about 1 hour. Enjoy !!!!!
